ELTWEED POMEROY OF DORCHESTER, MASS., AND 
WINDSOR, CONN., AND FOUR GENERATIONS 
OF HIS DESCENDANTS.* 

Compiled by William Woodbridge Rodman, A.M., M.D., of New Haven, Conn., 
and communicated by Mrs. HeNrt Thokp Bulklet, of Soutbport, Conn. 

1. Eltweed^ Pomeroy is believed to have come to America in 1630, 
in the ship " Mary and John." He took the oath of freeman, in the Col- 
ony of Massachusetts, March 4, 1632. (Mass. Colony Records, Vol. I., 
p. 367.) He was one of the first settlers and proprietors in the town of 
Dorchester, and first selectman in 1633. (Hist, of Dorchester, 1859, pp. 
33, 35.) 

No knowledge of his English home and ancestry has been obtained, 
though much effort has been made to verify various traditions. Researches 
are now in progress, and it is hoped they will not be entirely fruitless. 

The spelling of the surname has varied from that of his own signature of 
Pumery to the present Pomeroy. The Christian name is variously spelled, 
Elty, Eltwed, Eltwud, Eltwood, and Eltweed ; and there are suggestions 
that the crabbed MS. may mean Eldad, or even Edward. But as Elt- 
weed Pomeroy the sturdy armorer and gunsmith is now known to a 
large circle of descendants, and this spelling will be followed. 

In 1636-7, Mr. Pomeroy emigrated With Mr. John Warham's congre- 
gation to Windsor, Conn. (Hist, of Dorchester, p. 75.) Scanty as are 
the recoi'ds of his life — but there is not here space to print all that we 
have — something of his standing and character may be gathered from in- 
cidental references to him to be found in Stiles's " Ancient Windsor," 
Vol. I., p. 164: et seq. His place in the meeting house was on the "long 
seats"; land was granted him in 1638; he had a house and lot in the 
Palisado, which he sold to Thomas Nowell in 1641 ; and he made gifts of 

♦The Pomeroy Family Association, was formed in 1891, its object being " to study, 
and to develop by orfcanized effort the history and genealogy of the Pomeroys in 
America ; including their British ancestry and connections ;and all that may be perti- 
nent and tributary thereto." 

The Chairman was Dr. William Woodbridge Rodman of New Haven, Connecticut ; 
vice Chairman, Dr. Hiram Sterling Pomeroy of Boston, Massachusetts; Treasurer, 
Mr. George Eltweed Pomeroy of Toledo, Ohio; Secretary, the late Mr. Chester Pom- 
eroy Dewey of Brooklyn, New York. These gentlemen, with the Assistant Secretary, 
Mrs. Henry Thorp Bulkley (Rebekah Wheeler Pomeroy) of Southport, Connecticut, 
and Mr. Eltweed Pomeroy of Newark, New Jersey, constituted the Executive Com- 
mittee of the Association. 

With unwearied patience, and the scientific accuracy of a trained genealogist. Dr. 
Rodman collected a great amount of most valuable material ; his ideals being broad 
and comprehensive. In the latter years of his life he was unable to add much to his 
store, owing to the infirmities of age. 

He died March 29, 1900, four days before the completion of his eighty-third year. 

In January, 1902, his papers came into the hands of the writer, who has prepared 
this partial and preliminary record in the hope that family attention may be ai'oused, 
some of the omissions of this paper be supplied, and any of its errors corrected. Any 
snch corrections or additions, and further suggestions or information, will be grate- 
fully received by her. Address, Mrs. Henry Thorp Bulkley, Southport, Conn. 



houses ami land to his son Caleb, and his youngest son Joseph, the latter 
g.-tting ''the little stone house built on his land, adjoining his dwelling 
house" which he allowed Mrs. Elizabeth, widow of Rev. Ephraim Huit, 
to build " in time of her wi<lowhood, by way of courtesy ; which she en- 
joyed ; and after her death, said Eltweed Pomeroy took for his own, at a 
pi'ice agreed upon between him and those which she desired to be her over- 
seers and friends to order that little estate which she left for children ; 
which price he hath payed as they appointed him." 

Of his first wife, the mother of his eight children, we know only that 
she was named Mary, and died in "Windsor, July 5, 1655. On Nov. 30, 
10(31, he married second, Lydia (Brown), widow of Thomas Parsons. In 
16C5 he made generous provision for his "dear and lo\ang wife Lydia." 

In 1G71 he removed to Nortl-.ampton, Mass., to live with his son Medad. 
Tradition says that he became blind. He died at his son's house in March, 
1673, being probably about seventy-eight years old.

Nov. 14, 1705, died Sept. 11, 1777, daughter of Jonathan and Mary 
(Williams) Hunt. 

Large hearted, intense in will and feeling, of sound judgment and 
high religious principle. General Seth Pomeroy may be regarded 
as a typical Pomeroy ; with all the courage, fortitude, business ca- 
pacity, and regard for law, good government and religion, which 
characterize the family. 

His boyhood and youth were largely spent in learning the trade 
of liis i'atliers, and he became so excellent a gunsmith that the 
Indians of the Five Nations and the Canadas sent annual deputar 
tions to Northampton to exchange furs for his guns. He himself 
was unexcelled as a shot, and in his younger days was known to 
return to his home in Northampton, from his farm, five or six miles 
distant, with a deer, a bear and a wolf as the result of a day's 
hunting. He continued the manufacture of guns for many years, 
employing many workmen. After his marriage, in 1732, he was 
frequently engaged in the public service. To his sagacity, prudence 
and foresight, his great activity and unconquerable resolution, Berk- 
shire is indebted for the first great thoroughfare through her moim- 
tains In 1745 he joined the expedition against Louisbom'g, with a 
major's commission. During the next ten years he held many offices 
of trust and importance in his country's service. In 1755 he joined 
the expedition against Crown Point, imder Sir William Johnson, 
first as lieutenant-colonel, and, after the death of Col. Ephraim 
Williams at Lake George, on Sept. 8th, as colonel of the Massachu- 
setts troops. He was jjrominent in the congresses of the province, 
and was present at Cambridge all the spring of 1775, organizing the 
hosts that gathered around Ik)ston. He was present at the battle 
of Bunker Hill, where, like Warren, he was offered the command, 
and declined it ; but fought all day, doubtless with one of his own 
muskets. 

Two years afterward. Gen. Pomeroy raised and led a regiment 
to join Washington's army on the Hudson. In this service he died, 
at Peekskill, Feb. 19, 1777, only a month after leaving his home. 
A monument to his memory has been erected at Peekskill by the 
Sons of the Revolution. His wife died less than seven months 
later. (See an article in the Whig Review, 1848, by Hon. N. S. 
Dodge; and one iu the Springfield Republican, Nov., 1875.)
